Does their compass really point to true love? Jonah Montgomery thought he had it all, an Army career he loved, Team Panther the men he'd bonded with as brothers, and, Matt, the man who owned his heart. But under the shadow of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, everything fell apart when Matt was captured in Afghanistan. It's taken him five years to reinvent himself and to build a new life as country music's singing soldier. All he needs and wants is his music and his sniper rifle, there's no longer any room in his life for matters of the heart. It was official PTSD sucked, it caused Matt Garrett to make the biggest mistake of his life. He shut down when he should have opened up, and he ran from Jonah when he should have talked to him instead. By the time he figured out which way was up, too much time had passed to fix the wrongs between him and the only man he's ever loved. He learned to suck it up and to figure out how this living thing worked without Jonah at his side. Now five years later a terrorist seeking revenge has come for Jonah. Will Matt take the opportunity a sniper's bullet provides? Can Team Panther find their missing brother in time? Will Matt and Jonah stand together or will the love they still have for each other falter under the weight of revenge?

Jonah is the only ancient prophet with whom Jesus identifies in the Gospels. But when we turn to read the book of Jonah itself, we discover that this so-called "book" is only two pages long-and that Jonah's prophesying is limited to one short sentence. And yet, around this small book, as if it were around Jonah's own troubled ship, high waves of controversy and mystery have swirled for centuries. In A Journey with Jonah: The Spirituality of Bewilderment, Fr. Paul Murray strives to uncover the great lesson of this story. Following Fr. Murray's exploration is a 2003 lectio divina on Jonah by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger-published here in English for the first time. Book jacket.

Members of Hanger's Horsemen, Mark Wallace and Jonah Brooks arrive in Llano County, Texas, to deliver a steed, never expecting they'd deliver a baby as well. Left with an infant to care for, they head to a nearby foundling home, where Mark encounters the woman he'd nearly married a decade ago. After failing at love, Katherine Palmer dedicated her life to caring for children, teaming up with Eliza Southerland to start Harmony House. From mixed ancestry, illegitimate, and female, Eliza understands the pain of not fitting society's mold. Yet those are the very attributes that lead her to minister to outcast children. The taciturn Jonah intrigues her with his courage and kindness, but there are secrets behind his eyes--ghosts from wars past and others still being waged. However, when a handful of urchin children from the area go missing, a pair of Horsemen are exactly what the women need. Working together to find the children, will these two couples find love as well?

From Pulitzer Prize–winner Anne Tyler, a wise, gently humorous, and deeply compassionate novel about a retired school teacher forced to re-evaluate his life. Liam Pennywell has never liked teaching at a run-down private school, so when he is forced to retire at sixty-one, it doesn’t bother him. But what does is having no memory of an assailant who attacked him on the first night after he moved to his efficient condominium on the outskirts of Baltimore. He’s driven to recover this memory and at the same time recover other moments of his life that he has, over time, forgotten. But he can’t do it alone. What he needs is a “hired rememberer” — someone who will do the remembering for him — but when he finds Eunice, he gets a whole lot more than he anticipated. Subtle, funny, and populated with characters that are as real as friends, Noah’s Compass is an engaging and revealing novel about coming to terms with change, family, love, and memory.
